Moravia Cans Czechia facility gains ASI certification

Moravia Cans has been certified against the ASI Performance Standard V3.1 (2023) by the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI).

The company’s Bojkovice, Czechia facility manufactures aluminium monobloc aerosol cans and bottles for the deodorant and personal care markets, using both its proprietary Impact Extrusion with Ironing (IEI) process and its application of the Drawn and Wall-Ironing (DWI/D&I) process. The facility features optimised production and quality inspection systems and supports closed-loop recycling through ASI Certified suppliers.

The ASI Certification programme was developed through an extensive multi-stakeholder consultation process and is the only comprehensive voluntary sustainability standard initiative for the aluminium value chain. The ASI Performance Standard V3 and ASI CoC Standard V2 were launched in May 2022 following a multi-year revision process. The ASIPerformance Standard V3 defines 11 principles and 62 criteria under three sustainability pillars – Environment, Social, and Governance – with the aim to address pressing sustainability issues in the aluminium value chain, such as biodiversity, Indigenous Peoples rights, circularity, and greenhouse gas emissions. The 2022 Standards and related documents underwent a minor update in 2023, accounting for editorial changes, correction of minor errors and for general clarification, culminating in the release of Performance Standard V3.1 (2023) and Chain of Custody Standard V2.1 (2023).
